Latics Handed Home Draw In FA Youth Cup

10 October 2014

Oldham Athletic youth team have drawn at home to Tranmere Rovers youth team in the first round of the FA Youth Cup.

Commenting on the draw, manager Tony Philliskirk said: "We never seem to get easy draws in the FA Youth Cup draw but it will be a testing draw. They are the only team that have beat us this season so it will be a tough game but we have improved since then.

"They are still unbeaten in the league but I'm just pleased we have a home tie because it gives the lads the chance to play on the SportsDirect.com Park pitch and it will be special for the players."
